pysanky

i've created a flickr set showing and describing my Ukrainian eggs (pysanky). i haven't worked on this project for a while and have been really wanting to start back up again, so this is part of my motivation to do so.

rather than repeat everything here, if you're interested in reading more, i invite you to click through to the flickr set. as always, i'm more than happy to answer any questions, so just leave a comment (either place).

Update 09.16.2008: I just found out I've been accepted to Maker Faire! I'll have an interactive display of these eggs -- if you'll be around, stop by and try your hand at making one, or just to say hi!

meg, me too -- he's the guy who drew the penguin logo, so i made the egg for him. as you can see, it broke (oops) but i couldn't bear to just toss it since it was largely intact. one of the perils of this craft. :) sisterdg, i will certainly post more eggs as i get to it... hope to work on some in the coming months (if the baby cooperates and figures out this teething thing :).

About Me

I'm a life-long amateur crafter who can't quite seem to focus. You can find me decorating a cake, crocheting, quilting, sewing, embroidering, dying eggs, or generally just making stuff into other more interesting stuff. I love applying traditional techniques in new ways (with apologies to my grandmother).
